[QUOTE=Daniel!]Awsome man. Thanks.[/QUOTE]

how are you liking it?


off topic but i can't stop listening to prince far i and the arabs..they make some great stuff, check them out

That Prince Jazzbo album is great. I've been listening to him and Big Youth all day. I've been trying to find some stuff by U-Roy, I-Roy, Dennis Alcapone, Prince Far I, and Dillinger, but so far soulseek hasn't been very helpful.

Edit: I'm getting a Prince Far I album and a Dennis Alcapone album right now.

ive actually never heard dennis alcapone, which album did you get?
and which prince far i did you get?

I got Dennis Alcapone - Forever Version, and Prince Far I - Black Man Land.

I was reading about Big Youth somewhere, and it said that there were three famous toasters at the same time as him: U-Roy, I-Roy, and Dennis Alcapone. So I'm gonna try to get stuff by all three of those guys, because Big Youth rocks. I have one down, two to go.

We need to write short little paragraphs for all the artists that aren't on the list in the first few posts. There's quite a few good ones not on there.

Prince Far I is great. His voice is really...interesting.


Edit:

[B]Big Youth[/B]
Originally born Manley Augustus Buchanan, Big Youth was one of Jamaica’s most popular DJ’s (or toasters). After being a mechanic, Big Youth started DJing for Lord Tipperton's sound system. His debut single was a flop, and so were many of his next singles. He finally got a hit when he hooked up with Gussie Clarke and recorded “The Killer”. "The Killer" was followed by a string of other successful hits, and his debut album [i]Screaming Target[/i]. Still alive, Big Youth is a major reggae icon in Jamaica.

[B]Dennis Brown[/B]
Dennis Brown was born in Kingston, Jamaica, in 1957. He grew up on Orange Street, the center of the island’s music scene, and he was surrounded by famous and soon-to-be famous artists throughout his childhood. Recording his first hit at only 11 years of age, Dennis Brown has become a beloved and prolific artist throughout the entire island. He died of cocaine use on July 1, 1999.

[B]Dennis Alcapone[/B]
Born in Clarendon, Jamaica, on August 6, 1947, Dennis Alcapone set up his own sound system in Kingston, the El Paso Hi-Fi, in 1969 and instantly became successful. In the early 1970’s, Dennis started releasing his own singles. His cheerful whoops and hollers pushed him to the top of the charts, dethroning the great U-Roy. Although still recording music, his glory days are long past, but he remains one of the greats of early Jamaican toasters.

I've been listening to Big Youth, Prince Jazzbo, and Dennis Alcapone all day.

I got bored and typed up a blurb about U-Roy, even though I've only heard 1 song by him.

[B]U-Roy[/B]
Although not the first DJ, or even the first to make a record, U-Roy is commonly know as the Originator. His music was immensely popular, and forever changed Jamaica’s music scene. U-Roy was DJing for King Tubby’s Hi-Fi sound system when he cut his first song with Keith Hudson in 1969. Although his first song, and the few that followed, were not successful, he soon started topping the charts with his collaborations with John Holt. He has since gone down in history as the one of the innovators of the DJ and toaster style.

I've recently heard a lot about Mad Professer, but haven't heard much. I also learned that he remixed a Massive Attack album, which makes him instantly cool.

Uh huh.

Burning Spear
The Congos
The Abyssinians
Bunny Wailer
Peter Tosh (you may know the above two as The Wailers)
Jimmy Cliff
Toots & The Maytals
Try listening to some of Bob Marley's children (I recommend Ziggy and Damian)

And lots of other things.

Very cool, I'm diggin it. Jah Bless this thread!

The Meditations album is okay. Not the best, but not terrible either. I'm going on vacation for a week so I won't be posting. Have fun without me.

I bought the new Matisyahu cd today and its pretty damn good for an amish dude singing it, what are your alls thoughts on this band?

[QUOTE=PunkyRastaMon420]I bought the new Matisyahu cd today and its pretty damn good for an amish dude singing it, what are your alls thoughts on this band?[/QUOTE]

I think Matisyahus great honestly. But im pretty sure hes not amish. Judaism is different.

uhm i guess you didnt read what i typed... i said i just heard them and bought the cd today. give me a fukking break

[QUOTE=JonM]Wow. Uh, yeah, that's right. Wow.[/QUOTE]

Pardon me but are these "wow"s at my expense? Because I certainly wasnt questioning Matisyahus religious convictions, but rather politely offering some clarification.

Not really, more at the assertion that Matisyahu was Amish.
